smiled. “I should say not. We'll
drop in after lunch.”
"Fine. That’s a date.” Dugnn
hurried away.
After a quick lunch. Colt and his
secretary walked over to the cir-
cue grounda. The groumds were
alive with activity, as the taborers
put up the tents (or the big show.
Squatting on the' ground was th*
troupe of cannibats dressed in their
native earb. They were all gesticu-
lating and talking in high, exeitd
volces. In the center at the group
was the witch doctor. Keblia, a saw-
age with a hourible, black, scarred
(ace and ■taring white eyebqlls.
Colt shuddered as he passed them.
He looked over at another act—
a shooting act—which was practie-
lng. A man Mood up against a
wooden board, while a woman
traced his figure with revolver bul-
lets.
"That man’s got plenty of nerve,"
said Colt.
"Nerve my eye.” It was Dugan.
“He’s got a bullet-proof jacket”
Colt looked around. "You've got
a nice layout here, Dugan."
"It looks all right."
"Don’t tell me you've got the
Sheric- trouble.”

The sun was ktght and hot as the
circus parade marehed down ths
street to the tune of blaring music
A cloudless sky made it a perfect
dazfor.the big event. The town
0..G ilead seemed “ mass ot varied
‘solors with itsttew thousand people
lining the malp street and the gay
circus banners floating in the warm
(breeze.

East Texas interests.

-"Let me tell you eomething. This
is the first time since I’ve been with
the show that we'd welcome a
Sheriff. There's trouble popping all
over the place. It's certainly a
lucky break for us that you're in
town"
Colt frowned. "Come on, Kelly!”
"Walt." Dugan pleaded, "Rainey
wants to see you. He's got to see
you."
Kelly . threw up her hands.
"There's no balm in Gilend," she
said.
Colt looked at z the cannibal
troupe as they started to walk
towards Rainey's wagon. As soon
as the savages were aware that
they were being, watched, they be-
came silent.
"We seem to have interrupted a
conference. Who are these people?"
Dugan answered, tersely, “Can-
‘nibais!" •
“From Harlem?",
"No. op the level, Mr. Colt, they're
the real McCoy. Real cannibals.
Believe it or not, there were four-
teen cannibais in that troupe last
week. There's only thirteen now.
"Thirteen." He shook his head.
"Come on!” ,
Colt roared with laughter at the
implication. He was Milt laughing
When they entered Rainey'* wagon.
Lovell and Rainey, . immersed in
gloom, were seated. Dugan made -
the introductions.
Rainey explained the situation to
Colt. "What’s the use of a soil-,
out when you can't give a show"
he said.
"What’s to prevent your" asked
Colt.
"Well, to begin with—you saw
what heppened to Miss La Tour
at the parade this morning. If her
husband hadn't been on the job she
might have been killed, or at least
crippled."
"But fortunately the accident was
averted." adud Cott.
Lovell oooh* now. “It wasn't an
accident. That balloon didn't burst
of its own accora,"
"We figured." added Rainey.
"That somebody on this , line of
march must’vn thrown a dart or,
something to explode the balloon.
There’s no doubt about it—mome-
body’s out to wreck this circus."
“What m~kes you think no.” Colt
asked
Rainer reached into his com
pocket and took out several sheets
of paper. He handed them to Cott.
Coll read aloud “Do not attempt
your act tomorrow—or you will
die." The words were pencitea in
capital letterg.
Colt stared at Rainey'* worried
face "Every one of our principal
performers has gotten * one, at
these!" said Rainey

"So dyspepsia! You know peanuts

"There's balm in Ottead, Kelly."
Colt went on, "oodles ot it. Thjs is

Colt looked up sharply, e An ex-
‘pression of dismay crossed his face
as-h* saw the owner ot the voice.
It was Dugan.
The press agens face beamed
with vociferous o as he pumped
- Colt's hand. "Wel-1 be any-
thing you say!" He turned to Mis*
Kelly. "And you, Patsy!"
"Hello, Jim."T 1
Dugan grinned and looked at Colt.
“I could hardly believe my eyes—
it’s you—it's youtitthe greatest
Police Commissioner of the greatest
city of the greatest country in the
world.* Not a mirage—not an illu-
■ion—Thatcher Colt In person!"
"Ixnay, apnayif" Colt whispered.
“Tun* down, you laud speaker! I'm
on a vacation. Yu’re talking to a
guy named Smith, The only person
named Colt I ever heard of was the
man that invented the forty-five!”
He looked at the parade. "A nice
troop, Dugan?"
• > "Greatest show an earth— any
earth.” Dugan pointed to the color-
ful caravan. "Bee that cookie on
the white horse? That's Josie La
Tour.”
La Tour wakrw gay nymph on a
white horse. A dozen large balloons,
attached to hew/wafst, danced with
happiness at being so.close to this
beautiful womah. White tights re-
vealed her strong, slim form. Flan-
drin. her husband, rode another
prancing steed along side her. He
— seemed to be talking to her. tor his
lipa moved, but no sound was aud-
ible above the loud march music of
the band. The girl apparently paid
no attention to her husband's words.
> Suddenly, thete was a Iqud report.
One of the balloons had burst. La

Mt. Pleaant Times:
District Court on Monday
resumed ts special session for
the purpose of trying the case
of Arthur Sanders, who is
charged with the murder of
Constable Ed Price at Winfield
on the night of March 22.
A special venire of ninety
men had been summoned from
which to select a jury, and
examination of the veniremen
was begun soon after the court
was opened. Both State and de-
fense attorneys acted very cau-
tiously in the selection of the
men to serve on the jury, but
more rapid progress was made
than was expected, and at
press time 5 men had been
chosen.
Owing to the nature of the
case, and .the large number of
witnesses to be presented by
both sides, it is thought that
the entire week will be utilized
in the disposal of the trial,
which has attracted a great
deal of attention all over this
section of the State.
Gilmer’s "buying decisions” are made, whether
the purchase be one directly concerning every
member of the family or an individual purchase
